The idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a very significant element of companies and societies functioning. Literature exemplifies that this concept still becomes more and more popular. Considering it from the strategic perspective can be a driver for businesses success. This article focuses on the CSR concept and its different aspects. The aim of the paper is to describe and exemplify the issue of the corporate social responsibility concept, with the focus on its strategic aspects. In order to achieve the aim of the paper, there have been set the following objectives: (1) to discuss definitions of the CSR concept, its origins, drivers and different types; (2) to present strategic CSR definitions, its benefits and dimensions; (3) to exemplify how to embed the CSR concept into strategy; (4) to discuss the complexity of the strategic approach to CSR. The study is based on the systematic literature review. At the beginning, the article presents the method of the study and the research sampling process. The next step of the study outlines the CSR concept and its definitions and key assumptions. Later, the article exemplifies the strategic approach to the CSR concept. The study confirms the significance of converting CSR activities into strategies and linking them with the grand strategy of companies. Nevertheless, there is still a big need to investigate this issue more deeply in order to have a better and more comprehensive view on that.

Purpose: The article discusses the benefits for companies and their customers as a result of collaboration with sport clubs on different advancement stages. Design/methodology/approach: The research takes a quantitative approach to study customers’ attitudes towards sponsorship in sports. The survey measures customers’ attitudes grouped in three categories: brand favourability, use of products, and perceived social input. It shows how these values change in different collaboration stages, defined by Austin’s (2000) Collaboration Continuum. Findings: The benefits were most effectively created on the philanthropic and integrative stages of collaboration with no statistically significant difference between the two. Further analysis of the results suggested the integrative stage to be the most favourable for companies to collaborate in, when taking into account the overall effect of collaboration. Research and practical implications: The research provides insight for both, business and non-profit managers in order to gain better understanding of the benefits of collaboration and what stage of collaboration results in highest perceived benefits. Originality/value: The research results may help both entities to manage their collaboration relationships. For non-profits this means understanding the value of their partnership and this way helping to create value propositions. For businesses this means the ability to engage in collaboration that brings best value for their customers and the company. Paper type: Research paper.

In the opinion of many researchers, frugal innovations are often connected with sustainable development. This statement is proved by literature analysis, where frugality and frugal innovations are presented as a determinant of sustainable development. However, in most of the cases the lack of empirical evidence of this situation can be noticed. The article includes a review of the literature describing frugal innovation. In the article, the definitions of frugal innovations are compared with some empirical propositions for frugality measuring in the companies. The aim of the paper is to describe the issue of frugal innovation, its definitions, manifestations and ways of measuring. The reason of conducting the study is a desire of verification how deep is the issue analysed in the literature. In order to achieve the aim of the paper, the following objectives have been set: (1) to discuss current definitions of frugal innovations; (2) to present the ways how frugal innovations can be manifested; (3) to describe current propositions of frugal innovation measures and to discuss if can they be used to measure frugal innovation efficiency in the companies. The analysis is based on literature review. First of all, there is presented the method of the study and detailed description of the research sampling process. Presentation of frugal innovation definitions is the second step of the study. The next step is to show the most common manifestations of frugal innovations. Considerations about these two elements are the causes of identifying the measures, which helps to assess the efficiency of frugal innovations. The study confirms that there is still a huge demand for deeper investigation of the issue, because the current literature does not provide the comprehensive understanding of it.

Purpose: This article is focused on checking whether there is an interdependence between the levels of self-leadership and growth mindset presented by an individual and whether these factors affect the functioning of employees. Methodology: The respondents were an open group of 237 participants of different age, job seniority and position. The following questionnaires were used in the study: ASQL by Houghton, Dawley and DiLiello – to measure the level of self-leadership, and NNR by Godlewska-Werner – to measure the level of growth mindset. Findings: The results of the study show that self-leadership and growth mindset are factors that significantly affect each other. However, there are no relationships between the overall level of self-leadership and: age, sex, job seniority or holding managerial positions. Research and practical implications: Research can be important to management practice in team building processes as the level of selfleadership can be a relevant factor which promoted and shared among coworkers allows to create a more balanced, engaging work environment for managers and those they lead. journal of Corporate reSponSibility and leaderShip leaderShip and human behaviourS in the Context of information and knoWledge management 44 Wiktoria Kujawa, Szymon Kamiński Originality/value: The research conducted so far has focused on the analysis of the connections between growth mindset and leadership.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify motives and conditions acting as incentives for key knowledge workers to share their individual knowledge with other employees. Methodology: The interviews with key knowledge workers of 50 companies operating in Poland were employed as the main data collection method. In the process of analysis, the interview findings were compared with the results of the questionnaire survey conducted among entrepreneurs and managers representing the companies of the interviewed key knowledge workers. Findings: The motives of knowledge sharing by key knowledge workers are as follows: financial motivation, sense of responsibility for the results of the organization and the results of teamwork, building and consolidating professional authority. The following conditions are required to be established to support knowledge sharing by key knowledge workers: organic leadership, organization of team work, communication processes, HR processes. Practical implications: Achieving high results in knowledge sharing with the participation of key knowledge workers requires a comprehensive knowledge management system. The knowledge-oriented enterprises have to create the adequate working environment for the key knowledge workers. The comfort zone for such employees guarantees that they become aware investors of their own intellectual capital.

Purpose: This article analyses the unsustainability of the welfare state. This unsustainability is not caused by a financial crisis, but is caused by its own design and initial conception. For this, the case of Sweden is shown as an example; and the policies adopted by this Nordic country to correct the unsustainability of the welfare state mentioned above. Design/methodology/approach: The applied methodology has been, on the one hand, a literary review of the welfare state concept. On the other hand, an analysis has been carried out with various economic indicators that serve to corroborate the aforementioned unsustainability and the effect of the decisions taken by Sweden. Research and practical limitations/implications: The analysis of economic variables such as GDP or the collection of taxes on GDP is burdened with the classical limitation on the cause-effect relationship. The problem of causality in economics is one of the most significant in the discipline. This problem is fundamental in historical analyses, when it comes to relating a phenomenon that has occurred with the causes that generated it. Originality: The debate about the welfare state and its sustainability is gaining strength from very different spheres. In an unstable and highly globalised economic environment, the role that states must play in the economy is being reformulated. The present paper analyses the development and growth of the welfare state as one of the differential elements of the developed economies (especially in the Western European area), and its subsequent crisis and loss of legitimacy due to its financial unsustainability. Findings: This article shows how the introduction of private companies that provide public services can be a solution to the welfare state crisis. For this, the Swedish case is used as an example. In the Nordic country, it was found that the introduction of private companies in the provision of public services has not reduced social assistance services or their quality. What is important, it has been a new competitive management, which guarantees the quality of the services provided, at a lower cost to the public sector budget. Paper type: theoretical paper.

The issue: Over the last 20 years corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become one of the standard business practices. Despite the positivity and optimism that CSR brings to the corporate table, its relationship with the companies’ insolvency are poorly investigated, leading to concern about its impact. Purpose: The author intends to assess the state of the art of disclosing social responsibility aspects of companies’ insolvency as a case of CSR and seeks the answer for the question if the definite pension and wage benefits in case of corporate insolvencies should be included into management reports. Methodology: Literature sources and public domain data analysis, analysis of local and international legislative documents and other regulatory official papers, investigation of the practice of corporate social responsibility all around the world, consolidated financial statements of companies, etc. have been used to formulate conclusions. Comparative studies of Belarusian legislation and the relevant international wage and pension protection mechanisms and instruments were analysed for making more informed and well-argued conclusions and recommendations based upon these studies. Findings: Evidence shows that together with the employment issues, occupational health and safety aspects, training and education matters, etc. companies are expected to disclose such information as employees’ and pensioners’ claims in case of company insolvency through disclosing relevant non-financial information in management reports. Value: The research may be the basis for the further practical implementation of disclosure requirements on non-financial and diversity information in international guidelines and principles.

Purpose: The main purpose of the research was to investigate the way the information is perceived and the role it plays in exercising military leadership, especially in the context of differences between the Allied interpretations of the term and the Russian concept of information as an instrument of military strategy. The aim of the paper was to find out, indicate and describe the role and perception of information in different areas of military interest, both within the Alliance and outside of this. Operationalizing the aforementioned aim the following research questions have been set: what are the differences in definitions of information? what are the objectives and principles applied in various kinds of military, information-related activities? what is the role of information in exercising leadership? Design/methodology/approach: Research methodology examined from the perspective of its objectives, in this case, can be classified as descriptive (describing systematically the perception of information, providing required input of expertise and attitudes towards the role of information) and explanatory (clarifying the differences in understanding the concept of information, e.g. in operations and management). If one considers the perspective of ‘mode of enquiry’, the qualitative approach (aiming at exploring diversity rather than quantifying and emphasizing the description of perceptions rather than their measurement) has been applied here.
